Chicken crossing NYC subway tracks delays downtown 1 trainBy Conor Skelding and Melissa Klein

Why did the chicken cross the rails?
Who knows — but one doing just that held up a downtown 1 subway train on April 20, a straphanger told The Post.
“The train conductor matter-of-factly announced that we were delayed because a chicken was crossing the tracks with a chick behind it,” said the commuter, who declined to be named.
“I looked at the woman across from me … wondering if we were going insane, or actually heard what we just heard. That then turned to laughter. There were several people on the train who had no reaction — I guess [New Yorkers] are numb to the crazy things we hear and see every day,” the rider said.
The fowl-up didn’t last long — just about five minutes, the rider recalled, as the train approached Rector Street in Lower Manhattan.
